About ALAC
ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec) is Apple's lossless compression format, stored in .alac or .m4a files. Like FLAC, it compresses audio without discarding any data. ALAC is natively supported on Apple devices and in iTunes and Apple Music.
About WAV
WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) stores raw, uncompressed PCM audio. It is the standard format for professional audio editing, DAWs, hardware samplers, and broadcast workflows. Files are large but require no decoding overhead and are supported everywhere.
When to convert ALAC to WAV
Both ALAC and WAV are lossless, so converting between them involves no quality loss. The reason to convert ALAC to WAV is compatibility: some DAWs, hardware samplers, and older audio tools accept WAV but not ALAC. Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Ableton, and hardware gear like MPC samplers and Eurorack modules all work natively with WAV but may not handle ALAC. This conversion is also useful if you need to import Apple Music exports into software that does not understand ALAC containers.
